Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (ensure it contains xanthan gum)
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vegetable oil, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use a quality gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum.
- Measure ingredients accurately using measuring cups and spoons.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a tough cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting or serving.
